Abstract:
A method alters a computer resource in response to the computer resource moving from a first geolocation to a second geolocation. One or more processors receive a message indicating that a computer resource has moved from a first geolocation to a new geolocation. In response to receiving the message that the computer resource has moved from the first geolocation to the new geolocation, the processor(s) encrypt data that is stored on the computer resource, and apply decryption information to the encrypted data from the new geolocation, where the decryption information is specifically for decrypting encrypted data at the new geolocation. In response to the decryption information failing to decrypt the encrypted data at the new geolocation, the processor(s) and/or a user alter the computer resource.
